Patch 5.00.345 Install question

We have been keeping up with the patches and are on 5.00.345. We have not experienced any problems like we have in previous versions. I think that Epicor is getting better at this and has hopefully learned their lessons. I always recommend reading the change list before applying the patch and make sure your users that may be affected by the patch are also notified before applying the patch - just good follow thru and they can let you know right away if they see something.

Let me clarify further. I have look at the change list from epicor. But in
the past we have found some changes are not documented clearly as to their
effect. These are the changes I would like to be aware of before I go ahead
with the upgrade.

The main snafu for us that cam in a patch (and I don't remember which one)
was when the PONum increased by one digit. The repurcussion was that we had
to do a "Verify database" in the POform.rpt report because it didn't
understand that field change. It was a two-minute operation, but left us
bewildered for a day wondering why that report wouldn't print.

Does anyone remember which patch the PONum was increased on?
